Why not sign Charles Bassey as a 3rd string center?
He’s a good rebounder and shot blocker.
Is there a reason he never got significant minutes anywhere?

I absolutely believe the Celtics are planning a stealth tank season, it's too valuable for them to be a lottery team given they will be too good to get a high draft pick once Tatum returns.

Watching Bam and JJJ availability this season if both teams stink by the deadline. Both have expensive extensions and their teams may want to punt on them if they aren't playoff bound

FRP status not really meaning too much anymore. Teams are willing to just eat the dead money and give up on guys quickly it seems in the new NBA. A bit surprising because you would think his contract might at least have some value for use in trades.

If we sign Kobe, will he be included as a Pascal return to complete RealGm’s fantasy?

Can't believe I'm saying this but Portland doing good work with those Camara and Sharpe extensions.

If this was 5 years ago, Sharpe might have been gotten a Max extension.

Was thinking it would have been a hold up because I can envision the Nets or something wanting to throw a bag at him in RFA

Mathurin unlikely to be resigned by the Pacers. Pretty good pickup as a better version of RJ with more upside

How's his defence? RJ is more versatile offensively other than his range from deep. I'm thinking if Mathurin's defence was good Carlyle would play him.
